Itching to get out and about on a Friday afternoon and to do a little celebrating for big events that happened in the last couple weeks, we enjoyed a few beers around WNY. We ended our tour in Batavia and were seeking out a spot for dinner. Thankfully, coming out of Eli Fish, we saw Main Street Pizza Company and immediately knew where we were going!
We walked in a little before 7pm and were greeted by a masked host who let us pick if we wanted to dine inside or outside. We chose inside, just to cool down as it was still warm out. As we were sitting down, he came over with the menus, silverware, and place-mats and noticed that the table was a little dirty and insisted we choose another instead, which was very astute of him! As soon as we were seated, we saw him go right over to that table and clean it more thoroughly so kudos to him! Now, if there was one complaint about our dinner, it was with the service provided by our server. It took him almost 15 minutes after we were seated to finally come to our table and take our drink order. Once our drinks were brought out, he took our dinner order and we didn't see him again for a long while (around 25 minutes or so). I'm sure that our order took that long to prepare and cook but he could've checked in on us once or twice to make sure we were set and to give any updates on our order. When we were ready to get a box to take home and pay for our meal, our server was nowhere to be found until we were up and walking out of the restaurant. We actually ended up talking to masked host who greeted us as we came in and he took care of everything, right away!
Now, onto the food! We ordered a half-sheet Sicilian (16 slices) pizza with cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms, and Ricotta cheese. The pizza was fantastic, everything about it was perfect! The crust edges were crunchy with the under-crust having a great chew and doughy-ness to it that makes up a Sicilian-style pizza. The sauce coverage was perfect and was more savory than sweet, which I didn't mind at all. The mushrooms were fresh-sliced and plentiful along with the pepperoni, which was not the cup-n-char variety you see from Buffalo. The real star on this pie was the Ricotta cheese, in my opinion, as it added an herbal flavor and provided a cool creaminess. This pizza was soo good, I ate almost half of it, by myself, in one sitting (don't worry, I paid for it later haha)! I ended up bringing the rest home and eating it the next day for dinner. I reheated in the oven at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes and was so happy it tasted just as good the second time!
I heard a lot of great things about Main Street Pizza Company in Batavia and I firmly believe them now! I definitely want to come back and try one of their grilled pizzas (control my portions... haha) and hopefully the dine-in service is a little more attentive. read more
